Delta Airlines: Safety is not a Destination

by Damien B. Davis

I recently took a short flight to Boston on Delta Airlines -- my preferred airline for travel in the US. It was a typical airline on-boarding experience. Awkwardly navigating fellow passengers and their carry-ons while trying to match my seat with ticket number. Then bust out the travel accoutrements (iPad, charger, book, snack whatever) without blocking the aisles to finally throw luggage in the overhead (or under seat) and sit down facing the in-flight movie screen in front of me.
